The Attempt at a Solution



to solve for temperature would i divide p like this?
T= 0.4887psi/*c + 13.80psi/P
?

I know it's a simple problem, i just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly?

Nooo …

always start by shoving everything around so that T is the only thing on one side:

P - 13.80 psi = (0.4887 psi/*c)T

and then … ? :smile:
